Born in the USSR in 1970, Russian by both nationality and ethnicity, and as such, have my own opinion on everything.
People, just try to think different. Maybe it won't make you happier, but the world will be a much better place to live in, if populated by thinking people.

Today there was the War

74 years ago the War began. The Great Patriotic War.

For my country it was the most cruel and devastating war in history.

In fact, the USSR fought against the European Union v.1.0. Sounds unexpected? Check the list of countries that supported Hitler this or that way, or were his allies, or were conquered and worked for him.

"The Sacred War", performed by our popular singer Elena Vaenga, in just two or three days after the Hitler invasion became an informal anthem of the fighting country.

Arise, vast country,Arise for a fight to the deathAgainst the dark fascist forces,Against the cursed hordes.

Chorus:

Let noble wrathBoil over like a wave!This is the peoples' war,A sacred war!

We shall repulse the oppressorsOf all ardent ideas.The rapists and the plunderers,The torturers of people.

Chorus

The black wings shall not dareFly over the Motherland,On her spacious fieldsThe enemy shall not dare tread!

Chorus

We shall drive a bullet into the foreheadOf the rotten fascist filth,For the scum of humanityWe shall build a solid coffin!

Chorus

Hearing this song even I, a grandson of the fighting generation, feel an immense desire to kill Nazis, and my fingers make fists all by themselves.
